In this third collection of over 60 comics, you'll be treated to the hilarity of "Dear Sriracha Rooster Sauce," "The Crap We Put Up with Getting On and Off an Airplane," "Why Captain Higgins Is My Favorite Parasitic Flatworm," "This Is How I Feel about Buying Apps," "What it Means When You Say Literally," "7 Things You Really Don't Need to Take a Photo of," and much more. Along with lambasting the latest culture crazes, Inman serves up recurrent themes such as foodstuffs, parasites, unicorns, as well as technological, news-of-the-day, and his snarky yet informative comics on grammar and usage. Online and in print, The Oatmeal delivers comic hilarity without any lumpy goo.

I've been following Matthew Inman's work on Facebook and the Oatmeal site for a while and was very happy to get this extended collection of his stories. I love Inman's depiction of road rage and angry people in general. The admiration shown for some less known amazing creatures like the mantis shrimp and the tapeworm makes for a good pause in the madness, rudeness and hyperbole that fills the remaining pages of this book. Other than for the crowd who looks for opportunities to be offended, this book is recommended for everyone from 15 to 150 years old.I bought the ebook version, works great in my Nexus 7, not at all in the Windows 8.1 reader (as of Q4 2013).

This is one of those 'grumpy old / young man' books that are now in fashion, apparently, since the kindle lists seem to be awash with them. This has some very funny moments, but unfortunately the kindle edition is so hard to read that it takes away much of the pleasure, not to say robs the reader of any instantaneous risible reaction by the time s/he has pored over, enlarged, and homed in on the fuzzy cartoon images and their apparently handwritten captions. Remove the cartoons, which add nothing to the satire anyway, and reproduce this as a text-only book for kindle owners, and you might have an even greater following than already exists.

I bought this book for my girlfriend as we are both fans of 'The Oatmeal' web site, and the book is a great extension of that.It is hilarious as so many of the comic strips are a great observation on life, but with a sense of humour. Well worth a read and a chuckle! top stuff!

I bought the other titles by this author and loved them, My Dog the Paradox is really funny and had me hooked, but was a little pricey considering it wasn't very long. this was a very different matter. It is full to overflowing with loads of really witty observations about everyday life from the mundane to the bizarre, and i couldn't put it down. I've gone back to it a few times since reading it when it arrived and just let it fall open to a page to have a read. I was usually in stitches because I had forgotten one of the jokes or hadn't noticed one of the drawings previously. This is a real gem, and the poster about working from home at the back was so true it went straight up in my home office wall! A great book and well worth the price.

Its not just the brilliant observational social comedy that has you identifying and rolling on the floor with laughter, but the brilliant colourful art as well that has you grinning from ear-to-ear.I am so happy The Oatmeal has taken off as a much loved site, brand and shop, it is so well-deserved.This is a really nice collection of some of the best comic-strips / cartoons from The Oatmeal, and you get a free poster folded amongst it's pages as well.

I was disappointed with Oatmeal's book about why my cat is plotting to kill me but bought this book anyway as I enjoy the internet comic and wanted to support the author. I was glad I did. I had seen some of the comics before but I read it on the train to work today and it had me genuinely laughing out loud at some of the comics.

If you like the comic on the internet then a definite buy even if you will have seen some of the content. This would also be a great gift for any of your not easily offended friends :-)
